 **Note that `example` project does NOT use the generated version catalog from the `catalog` project.** Although this is not likely to cause a difference in practice, it's an important distinction to be aware of.
 
-## Dependency caching
-
-We use the `example` project to generate a dependency cache which is uploaded to S3 by CI and then used in several projects.
-
-Note that all libraries within the version catalog will be automatically added as a dependency to the `example` project, but the plugins need to be added manually.
